Bell Labs introduced shared objects into UNIX, maybe they should have learned better from other platforms.

They realized that they had goofed like 25-30 years ago and have been battling their own monster ever since: http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/dynamic-linking/versioned-....

I take the authors of a disaster more seriously when they say it's a disaster, not less.

And yet the same authors designed Inferno and Limbo, where dynamic loading is everywhere, even at language level.

Talk about being serious.

You gave it away by saying "dynamic loading" instead of "dynamic linking". They're okay with one, but not the other.
